Explanation
Net primary productivity is the amount of carbon retained in an ecosystem (increase in biomass); it is equal to the difference between the amount of carbon produced through photosynthesis (GPP) and the amount of energy that is used for respiration (R). GPP – R = NPP. R = respiratory loss.
